SUMMARY:Practical Leadership 1.0: Cultivating Thriving Supervisory Relationships
DESCRIPTION:This series is offered by Minnesota Council of Nonprofits.\n\nTuesday\, March 22nd through Thursday\, March 24th\, 11:00 AM – 1:00 PM ET\n\nRegistration Fees: $129 for Members\, $169 for Nonmembers.  Please log into the Member Portal to find the member discount code\, or email hilaria@dev.wvnpa.org. \nREGISTER NOW\nEffectively carrying out a supervisor role is more “art” than science. Often\, managers are left on their own to try and figure out how to implement their supervisor duties. Unskilled supervision can create organizational cultures that are ineffective at best\, and “toxic” at worst. When supervisors understand the expectations of their role\, they are able to supervise in a way that fosters healthy working relationships with each employee that reports to them. This\, in turn\, creates thriving\, inclusive organizational cultures. \nThis highly interactive virtual training provides participants with immediately implementable tools and strategies. \nThis workshop is one of MCN’s most popular trainings and consistently receives high evaluations. You will receive with tools and ideas that you can immediately implement. \nThis is a six-hour virtual training spread over three two-hour sessions\, March 22\, 23\, and 24 from 11 a.m. – 1 p.m. each day. \nTopics\n•    Cultivating self-awareness and emotional intelligence\n•    Understanding privilege and power in your supervisor role\n•    Holding difficult conversations\n•    Six essential skills of supervision\n•    Coach approach to supervision \nLearning Objectives\n•    Better understand the competencies of the supervisor role and have improved confidence in implementing the role\n•    Cultivate self-awareness and accountability for avoiding toxic behaviors in the work place\n•    Increase comfort at holding a range of conversations\, including developmental feedback\n•    Learn strategies for helping employees solve their own challenges\n•    Build awareness of when to use coaching in the supervisor role\n•    Receive an introduction to the fundamental components of coaching – listening and inquiry \nAbout the Speaker\nLisa Negstad consults with a diverse clientele of nonprofits\, philanthropies\, and government in leadership and organizational development. Believing anyone can be a leader\, Lisa lives in two worlds: traditional hierarchies\, where she helps managers excel in their role\, and collective teams\, where she helps groups think systemically and improve their shared leadership skills. Before starting her own consulting firm\, Lisa held senior leadership and management positions in several international and U.S.-based nonprofit organizations. Lisa has an MBA from Yale and a B.A. in psychology from Luther College and is certified as a human systems dynamics professional. Lisa\, an ongoing learner of cultural agility\, brings a strong value of inclusion and participatory processes to her training.

SUMMARY:2022 Spring Regional Meeting - VIRTUAL
DESCRIPTION:Thursday May 12th\, 10:00 AM – 12:30 PM ET\nHeld on Zoom!\n\nRegistration Fees: $15 for Members\, $25 for Nonmembers.   \nREGISTER NOW\nAbout the Session: \nNonprofits are realizing that executive director transition is a crucial moment in an organization’s life: a moment of great vulnerability\, as well as great opportunity for transformative change. Planning for executive director transition is called succession planning: thinking in advance about how to set the stage for a strong transition.  \nWhile there is risk in executive transition\, there is also tremendous opportunity for reflection\, change\, and organizational growth. When well planned and considered\, leadership transitions can result in significantly stronger organizations. \nThis succession planning training is designed to give small to mid-sized nonprofit organizations a framework that can be used to prepare for a leadership transition\, search for the best candidates\, and thrive for years to come. It comes filled with practical advice and tools that will save you time\, worry and money.   \nParticipants will receive the following:  \n\na succession planning checklist and timeline; \na list of recommended reading; guiding questions for board members interviewing candidates; \ninsights directly from others who have experienced  leadership transitions; and \ntemplates and sample planning documents so you can avoid reinventing any wheels.\n\nMeeting Agenda:\n\n10:00 – 10:30: Introductions and WVNPA update (please log in 5 minutes early to ensure we get started on time)\n10:30 – 12:00: Succession Planning: Kingery & Company\n12:00 – 12:30: Q&A\, Closing Remarks\, Evaluations\n12:30: Adjournment\n\nAbout the Presenter:\nTricia C.

SUMMARY:Creating and Sustaining Inclusive Nonprofits
DESCRIPTION:This series is offered by Minnesota Council of Nonprofits.\n\nTuesday June 7th\, 2:00 PM – 4:00 PM ET\nThis is a 3 Part series followed by Conversation Circles between June 7th and  September 13th.  See below for individual dates and session topics.\n\nRegistration Fees: $159 for Members\, $199 for Nonmembers.  Please log into the Member Portal to find the member discount code\, or email hilaria@dev.wvnpa.org. \nREGISTER NOW\nCreating and sustaining an inclusive work environment is critical to the wellbeing of your teams and fostering lasting external relationships. Kaitlin Desselle and Anne Phibbs of Strategic Diversity Initiatives (SDI) are partnering with MCN to offer a series of three two-hour workshops that will each center on a specific topic connected to increasing diversity and inclusion in the nonprofit sector: social class and socioeconomic status\, LGBTQIA identities\, and sizeism. Additionally\, SDI will facilitate a conversation circle between each workshop as an opportunity to go deeper with the material while building community and accountability with peers. \nEach workshop will allow you to immediately apply learning to your work situation and is relevant to anyone committed to developing a comprehensive and ongoing understanding of inclusive leadership\, at any level\, within nonprofits. \nNote: This is a series of three workshops and three conversation circles that encourages cohort-based learning. The conversation circles will be facilitated by the series trainers and be an opportunity to go deeper with the material while building community and accountability with peers over several months. Please make sure you are available for the three workshops before registering. Participation in the conversation circles is highly recommended but not required. \nThe topics for this series are: \nJune 7 — Hierarchies all Around: Addressing Class\, Socioeconomic Status (SES)\, and Rank\nOur society and its institutions often mask the hierarchies that affect our lives. Whether based on social class\, title/rank\, access to financial resources\, and/or education level\, where you land in these hierarchies can have a profound impact on your opportunities\, level of respect\, and material conditions. This workshop helps organizations and institutions understand how social class and socioeconomic status can affect their clients\, members\, patients\, students\, and employees – and how they can work against unnecessary hierarchies\, allowing them to function both more equitably and more effectively. \nJune 28 — Conversation Circle #1 \nJuly 19 — Behind the Letters: Understanding LGBTQIA Identities\nDiversity and inclusion efforts are increasingly addressing issues of gender identity and sexual orientation\, requiring education around lesbian\, gay\, bisexual\, transgender\, queer\, intersex\, and asexual identities and communities. In this workshop\, we create opportunities to learn about the similarities and differences between these identities\, how LGBTQIA individuals and communities are affected by stereotypes and bias\, and what it means to be an ally around gender identity and sexual orientation. \nAugust 2 — Conversation Circle #2 \nAugust 23 — Taking Up Space: The Roots and Implications of Sizeism\nIn a culture trained by centuries of sexism and racism to objectify women’s bodies\, to privilege thinness\, and to condemn fatness\, the importance of celebrating and respecting fat bodies can be difficult for some to grasp. Social systems of sizeism and ableism deny fat bodies equal worth\, access\, and value. Outdated practices in the healthcare industry invalidate personal autonomy\, pathologize\, and endanger big bodies. Anti-fat bias in hiring and recruiting can mean missing out on talented candidates who we assume to lack individual willpower or discipline simply because of their size. In this workshop\, we explore sizeism and ableism through the intersectional lens of sexism\, racism\, and classism.
